Correct sentences:

  • Tow trucks help broken-down cars and tow cars that are parked in the wrong place.
  • Tow trucks take away cars that are broken or are parked in the wrong place.

Why we changed them (easy words):

  1. We say "broken-down" to describe a car that stopped working.
  2. We use the word "tow" (not just "pull") because tow trucks tow cars.
  3. We added the word "are" in "that are broken" so the sentence is complete.
  4. We said "in the wrong place" instead of "the wrong way" unless you mean the car is facing the wrong direction.

Try this: Say out loud: "Tow trucks help broken-down cars and tow cars that are parked in the wrong place."
